		<description><![CDATA[The Maldives experiences a hot and tropical climate. Temperatures rarely fall below 77 deg F (25 deg C). For a visitor spending a holiday in the Maldives it will be the perfect opportunity for wearing some brightly coloured summertime clothing that cannot often be worn in a colder climate. The ever present sunshine and higher temperatures mean that visitors and locals alike will prefer to wear lightweight materials. Natural fibres like cotton, silk and linens, T shirts, shorts and skirts will probably be best for staying cool. Flip-flops and sandals are the ideal sort of footwear. Dressing up for dinner might be required at some up-market resorts. Hats, insect repellant and sunscreen will all be necessary to enjoy a comfortable holiday, and can be purchased at Male and the resorts. It is important to remember that although clothing is informal, Muslim locals will find scanty clothing or nudity at public places offensive. These standards are strictly enforced by the government. Scanty beachwear and bikinis will not be acceptable in Male or other inhabited islands and should only be restricted to the resort islands. If going inside a mosque, the body and the legs must be covered, although the face and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lying in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is a chain of 1,192 islands that are grouped into twenty-six coral atolls (comprising 200 islands that are inhabited, as well as 80 islands that have tourist resorts.) The islands are considered to be a part of South Asia and sit south-southwestwards of India. The atolls are not singular islands but huge ring-like coral formations that are hundreds of kilometers wide which have split up into a myriad of islands. The Maldives spread over 90,000 sq km and comprises sapphire blue seas holding beautiful marine life, crystalline lagoons with multi-hued corals, palm-lined islands and shimmering sun kissed beaches. This mesmerizing mixture stays like this all through the year and enthralls visitors from all four corners of the globe. There is a remarkably straightforward visa policy in the Maldives. On arrival, everybody will get a complimentary 30 day visa, as long as they can show valid travel documentation and a return or forward ticket, and proof of enough funds. This can either be defined as US $25 per day in cash or a confirmed resort reservation. The visa can be extended for up to ninety days in Male, but a visitor will have to [...]]]></description>
